DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle shower tray repair in Lisvane

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Lisvane

Are there extra charges for Lisvane?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?

We cover the entire UK, including Lisvane and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Lisvane?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lisvane. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Repair or replace in Lisvane?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lisvane

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lisvane use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
